"[Fiery]!

I wonder if the spear has burned up to echo Gin's voice, and the road is cut open as he burns down tiny warcraft such as hornmomonga, warrabbits, and iron snakes every single wave.

Master Gray advances behind the gin, pushing in a straight line southeast through the bustling woods of grass, as he begins and ends the retrieved Warcraft. Paying attention to the Ballads and twins seniors and Leo seniors behind them, I follow them with ice covering the path paved with flames.

I dumped my tent and started looking for a teacher a few hours early. The sun had already come to the top, and the senior non-combatants were, of course, gradually starting to see fatigue in everyone.

After giving the wind spirits a rough warning, we went into the woods to rendezvous with the teacher. What was going on on on that road tells the story of the current situation, which had not been able to arrive near noon, to the teacher, who was supposed to arrive in less than an hour.

"Jin! Three coming from the left!

"Yes!"

I started to look tired. I was turning into Ballado, exploring my surroundings, and I yell that way at the signs that caught me on [sign perception].

Jin, who replied to my voice, lit a bigger flame on his spear than earlier and went into an interception posture. Seeing Master Gray stand to protect the Ballads, one step back at the same time, I pack the distance from the rear to the beginning.

Saggy, saggy, saggy!

"Huh [rambling]!

To the warcraft that has scratched and popped out the tree, Jin rolls out [rambling]. After one of the leading ones becomes a hive and burns up by [rampage], then the spear plunders one that pops up, or the momentum is shredded and falls to the ground. But the warcraft, hurting but not losing its willingness to fight, jumped straight into the gin.

"Ha!"

"Gah."

But Jin calmly spears through the flying warcraft.

On the other hand, I use [a flash of first blow] and [a frozen blade] to securely tailor the other warcraft that is about to turn back after seeing the first two that died in a short time, sideways a warcraft that was extinguished in an instant with a short scream.

With the sound of zash, I slit the throat of the Warcraft. I put Esperda in my sheath watching the soon-to-be-frozen Warcraft squeaking out loud.

"Dear Doyle! What about the Warcraft now!?

"........................... it's Scoll"

One step away from seeing an ice-soaked warcraft in the gin that came running over, one meter frozen as a skol with a golden eye loose, and the gin that came running over breathed.

That should be it, too. The warcraft that Jin burned to death earlier both had silver eyes. Jin, who has already extinguished charcoal but has laid down Hattie in the current battle, will have understood that we are now being chased by a herd with Marnagarm.

Shut the fuck up.

I look at Scoll and I breathe. To Jin, that's what I push. You guessed the meaning of my words, whispering, "Don't say anything extra to the seniors," as I once again pushed Jin, who nodded with a strange face.

To my words Jin replied "I understand" with a serious look at what time. At the same time I feel Gin's air turned into a sharpened one, and I sneak a grin.

Instead of being frightened by the presence of a powerful warcraft, the battle idiot who seems to have gotten even more tempered is very comforting in these cases.

"- Did they catch up to you?"

"No. This must be the scouts. There's no sign of the Warcraft except for the three."

Lady Gray, who was down with the Ballads to stay out of our way, shrugged so when she saw the icy scowl. I'll pass on my opinion to Master Gray, who stares at Scoll with a rugged face.

That said, my skills only allow me to explore within a 500-meter radius, so I have to ask Balad for more information. I would be exhausted by this chase. It is not preferable to let Balad use his skills, but it is a distressing place to have to work hard.

"- Master Doyle is right. Our unit is less than two kilometers north of here."

"............... don't push me too hard, huh? Leave your margins behind."

"Thank you. Dear Doyle, take care of it that way, and Ballad feels innumerable. But now we have to rendezvous faster than I do. We have four or five similar reconnaissance units within a kilometer of here."

If he did his gaze to ask for exploration of the area, Balad, with his eyes on him, replied so with a slightly disturbed breath. I answered sooner than I asked. If I cared for Balad's health, Balad answered in a firm tone, even though it made him feel a little tired.

I keep an eye on Ballad's attitude and words like that, too.

Seniors have helped me create a large amount of rotten meat in my tent. Moreover, thanks to the poison the seniors have brought on top of it, or the distance from the Skols has not narrowed so much.

But I met the reconnaissance unit, and it's more than I've defeated. This is where it comes from. Immediately one of the reconnaissance units was defeated by someone, which would tell the main unit led by Marnagarm.

At times of need, Ballado is going to take the Greys away. For that reason, I would like to leave Balad as much leeway as possible, but the current situation does not allow it. Right now, Balad is the only one who can get more accurate information than anyone else on this occasion.

"I will return you safely," he said in his heart, knowing that he could not, and I asked Balad for more information.

"Is anyone coming this way?

"No, nothing's headed this way so far"

"Where's the nearest teacher?

It's 1.5 kilometers northeast.

"... close to Scoll's main unit."

"Yes, but it looks like you two are there, so I was wondering if there's a teacher who's probably responsible for some of the starting points of the juncture"

"Eight or one on the road, but if we get there, we'll be safe."

"You're right."

Patrol to Balad's words.

Teachers who keep their students from entering the deepest reaches are those who are particularly good at handling the realm at school, and there are supposed to be warrior or magic teachers on that side to protect the teachers who keep the realm together. If we get there, Master Grey's safety will be guaranteed, and we will gain the strength to fight.

But blurring the body where Marnagarm is is is a rather dangerous act.

Watch Scoll freeze it earlier, worrying his head about what to do.

Seniors Ljeci and Sana 'a crouched on both sides of the ice-soaked skol, observing with interest. Occasionally, Seniors Ljeci and Sana 'a seem to be testing Scoll for swallowing while putting on ice, but their complexion is poor. And there's also sweat on Senior Leo's forehead that makes those two laugh. This chase should be hard for seniors who are not meant to fight.

- - Seniors' limits are close.

I don't put it in my mouth, but I look at the look on the faces of the seniors who seeped tiredness, and I judge them so.

The chase started with the sunrise has already spanned nearly seven hours. Me and Jin can still afford it, and Master Gray will be fine for the next few hours, but Balad and his predecessors are about to limit their health.

............... I guess I'll just have to go.

The other scouts will notice us even if it's too long, so we have to come to a quick conclusion.

Given what we all need to do to get home safely, it's possible to blur Scolls and his team, but it would be best to join the teachers as soon as possible.

That way you can fight.

Honestly, it's impossible to fight for real in a place where seniors and Lady Gray are. I'm concerned about the presence of Gray and the others, and I can't use any more great moves than I could possibly get involved.

Either way, if you have to fight, I'd like an environment where you can fight at will. Cheesy as long as I'm serious about it. I won't lose, and I can make sure I buy time.

"- - Master Gray."

"Are you going?

"Yeah, 'cause just running around forever won't solve it."

"..................... are you okay?

That's what Lady Gray asked me when I just called my name. The color of anxiety seeps slightly into my eyes.

Master Gray isn't the only one. Balad, Jin, and the seniors looked at us anxiously listening to our conversation.

I raise my voice to reach everyone's ears, feeling such surrounding gaze on my skin.

"It's okay, I'll protect you."

I was prepared to defend it, even in absolute exchange for my life, and I declared so.

It is only a matter of time before it is self-destructive, even if it is running around like this. Then we should move on with the belief that it will work. If only I could stand up and defend myself. There's very little I can grab, but at least I'll protect and show you what's in front of me right now.

Master Gray opens his mouth gradually when I am assuming the worst and solidifying my readiness to let him escape responsibly in times of need.

"- That word, I presume, includes you?

"Master Grey?

"I told you, Doyle. You want me to think more about how you feel around me. No one is happy where I was saved at the expense of you. I guess that's what you're saying when you understand that again and again, huh?

Asked and breathed with a challenging gaze and tone by Master Gray, who had indeed seeped anxiety until earlier. Zero stupidity in my heart that you're someone so clever that you really don't like the timing and words of Master Gray as if you've read my mind.

Actually, I think there's a good chance it's going to be okay, but I don't know if it's really going to be okay. Intermediate Warcraft around there, but Scoll, but advanced Warcraft, but I'm confident I won't lose that way. But this is the first time I've confronted the Demon King, and most importantly, there are people who need to be protected in exchange for their lives. There's no way I can figure out what would happen to me if I put their safety first.

In any case, there is an element of uncertainty. Still, I guess I have to run out here. I have to tell them I can do it and give the Ballads peace of mind. If I stop here, it's only a matter of time before I kill myself.

That's how much Master Gray knows.

No, you're not.

After knowing so much about it, this man is stabbing me with a nail and telling me not to sacrifice anyone, including myself.

.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Understanding the meaning of the childhood gaze, I wanted to complain to Master Gray, who has been very impotent in this life-threatening situation.

But at the same time, he said, "Can you do that?" I feel my mouth rising naturally in the provocative gaze of Master Gray, who asks, and I drink all the complaints.

Gray-like appearance overlaps at an early age in her eyes that contain teasing colors. This seditious way of saying it was the way Lady Grey used to say it at an early age in order to break it to me, who hated to lose.

"If it can't be done without sacrificing someone, I have to oppose you as the king prince of this country, as the representative of this squad. I have a responsibility and an obligation to bring you all home safely."

"It's okay."

"Is that true? Because it's the mountains of Sekiyama that make fools of nobles and royalty in other countries, such as Prince Wang, who can't bring them all home safely from their accommodation. If you can't, tell me you can't. We have to think of safer ways."

"It's okay."

"Where does that confidence come from? What makes you think it's all right? I don't trust you these days."

"- So, Your Highness, that's the way to put it... Master Doyle thinks of us."

"You keep quiet, Jin. - - Overconfidence endangers our surroundings. Don't tempt your hopes with halfway confidence."

"Become!? No matter how much His Highness Gray may be, the way you say that to Master Doyle is -" You're telling me it's okay, aren't you? Who do you think I am, Gray?

"Can you do that?" Jin pinches his mouth, seemingly by Master Gray, who deliberately stirs me up, making me smell outside. but ignored it and tried to bite Master Gray even more accusing me of ballads, so blocking that word I asked Master Gray.

I get rid of all the respectful words I've used so far, and like Gray earlier, I laugh niggardly at childhood tampering who knows my character well in the words I've spoken in a challenging tone.

"... that's a lot of talk to me, isn't it, Doyle?

"'Cause you're just saying things that make everybody nervous, aren't you? Don't push your anxiety on the Ballads."

"I'm not saying it because I'm anxious. I'm just making an objective point."

"You're just scared, aren't you?

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm just stopping you before you fail because you're too confident."

What do you say?

Of course the Leo seniors, who watched silently, could not pinch Balad or Jin's mouth to the arguments of me and Lady Gray, who watched in such a way as Pokhan.

Leaving them like that, me and Master Gray gradually deepen their laughter at each other's words as they exchanged words with Pompom.

I remember the old days with words that naturally emerge and a deepening grin that said the Demon King was approaching that soon. Yeah. Speaking of which, me and Master Gray have always been like this.

Childhood tampering we spent together since we were minded was a bad friend and best friend like brothers.

"- - How confident are you to say that? Doyle."

Of course.

"That's a good cut, I couldn't do it. So you're pretty embarrassed, huh?

"Terrible!"

I will return a different word from my heart, too, to Lady Gray's words, which are not sincere. I'm not absolutely sure. I know that, of course, Master Gray. We are all together in anxiety.

Still, you can't pull it off because you're not sure. "Don't pull it off in this situation. Put your chest up and say it out!" and someone pushes my back. Someone tells me you believe me.

I remember my comfortable childhood in the reward of words that go on because I know each other well, and I feel my heart strengthens with the chase with Scolls.

At the same time, while stabbing the nail to tell me not to do it alone, I was absolutely determined to protect Master Gray, who told me to trust me, and that we would all go home alive.

Once again, determined to protect everyone, I will exchange my gaze with Master Gray.

And I laughed face to face with Master Gray, who had taken my gaze straight, elsewhere at Ballado, who was eye-pointing without following the unfolding at all.

"- Are you all right?

"Regardless."

Lady Gray asks me that again after a long and repeated exchange. And to Master Gray, who asked, I answered as I deserved.

Master Gray's words, if you will, are the anxiety that everyone feels. I guess Master Grey dares to speak of them and try to cut off the whirling anxiety by making me deny them.

That's why I have to say I'm not sure.

If Gray believes that my groundless "okay," then it is my role to make "okay" a reality in order not to hold Gray responsible.

So I stand in front of Lady Gray with my chest up.

And for the first time in a long time, while using [the elegance of an upscale aristocrat], I declare as prestigious and as resolute as my father.

"Who do you think I am? He's the grandson of [Fiery Spear Brave], the son of [Thunder Spear Brave], right? I've been trained by those two, I don't know what Marnagarm is, but there's no way I'm gonna get behind every Warcraft!

"Leave it to me," I say, cutting off the anxiety and suspicion that drifts on this occasion, just as Master Gray told me to do otherwise. As powerful and clear as when your grandfather or father led the soldiers as [Spear Brave].

And I said, "How about this!" When I looked at Master Gray like that, I drew an arc with Ni and his mouth with such expressions as getting my will.

"- - You're right. So, I got it, huh? Doyle."

"Leave it to me!"

Lady Gray, who snorted out at me and told me that was all right, turns back to the Ballads who had been left behind.

The Ballads, distracted by our exchange, were looked at by Master Gray with a strength that seemed to make a kicking noise, and when they accidentally made him jump on his shoulder, he uniformly corrected his posture.

To such Ballads, Master Gray orders him with perseverance, with a stern gaze.

"Reassemble the line! 1.5 km northeast! I'll rendezvous with the teachers as soon as possible!

"" "" "Huh!

Were you swallowed by Master Gray's air, the Ballads immediately followed orders made without saying whether or not to do so, and began to act.

And we quickly rearranged and confirmed where we were headed, and we started walking northeast.
